He understands the value of a good bunker

[@leanderbenn9146]

We (my friends and I) made up a completely new class called "the holomiter" that has a holloconverter, a hollolauncher and a hollopad as his kit. The converter changes nitra to hollomite, which is his passive, and then he uses the hollomite to power his tools. Weapons are the hollolauncher (rocket launcher) and the hollocracker (side arm revolver shotgun that fires fracturing hollomite crystals) and then his utility is the hollopad, a levitation pad that floats dwarves upwards. His additional tool is the holloscanner (let's him find hollomite) and his grenade is the hollonade which encases everything nearby in a layer of hollomite, kind of like a permanent freeze. We completely gaslit our other friend into believing the hollomiter was real, and even made a purple engineer that looked like a new class, and convinced him he'd be a sick hollomiter player so he downloaded the game

I think that sometimes the curse can reach beyond Driller. Recently I was playing with four friends and one was another person playing driller for the first time, and for context I was playing engineer (as I often do). He actually somehow didn't blow anyone up, thankfully. As we were heading for the droppod after a successful escort mission, I got the evil feeling that he was having too much fun whipping his flamethrower around. So after he says something like "burn in holy fire!" I just casually walk up to him a said "How about no?" and launched a hyperpropellent gernade right in his face. Needless to say, but he went down.

[@nameisnttaylor]

interesting theory, i think you're onto something

[@megawl2086]

Curse of the Fat Boy is also a thing, i once had an engi on my team who whole accidentally downed everyone except himself with his nuke, nearly lost the mission because of that

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

Ah yes, Hyperprop, AKA the Belt.

[@LeonserGT]

Another example is a cluster grenade as a gunner - yay, fireworks!

[@JustJahk]

"I dont want to incentivize you but there is gold next to me" is the best line ever my dude. Brings to back to "bro I have raygun!"

[@jayr00d11]

You see, there is one major flaw with the "Is Taylor washed?" video. The question is completely unrelated to Taylor, as in order to be washed at something, one must first be good at it Jokes aside, holy shit 54 revives in 1 caretaker mission. At what point do you just say fuck it and do the mission solo

[@nameisnttaylor]

you should've seen me back in '96!

[@Nightmare_52]

giving me flashbacks to the time i got 3 of my friends to play the game for the first time there was a lot of chaos..

[@nameisnttaylor]

i believe it

[@ojhat]

Can't believe I got to comment on a nameistaylor video! on a side remark, them's some really RED exploders. They definitely add to the menacing aura they give off when they rapidly fill your screen with RED as they skitter to you. And to the rest of your team's credit, there were SO many exploders that mission; if only they all had grappling hooks to help them flee from exploding swarms of death.

[@James_2194]

I'm nearing level 2,000 in this game and often play with a squad that knows DRG inside out. We finish missions quickly and clinically with little drama, which can get a bit stale sometimes. I love watching your videos because it takes me back to a time where Hazard 5 was chaotic, messy and funny. I kinda miss that.

[@bast4rdlyreaper]

You know, I do like watching this videos a lot, and seeing you and your friends slowly and painstakingly get better at the game, but I think at the very least that you should learn what exactly the perk system is, and specifically what each of the perks do. The majority of them are pretty bad and unhelpful. "AxisKronos" another content creator on KZbin, has made an excellent video on the subject, where he goes through all the perks and tells you exactly how viable they are in Hazard 5. The video is called, "BEST PERKS FOR HAZARD 5 / DEEP ROCK GALACTIC", in all caps. I would also recommend his video for armor loadouts, he touches on the subject when he talks about Resupplier and Breathing Room. It's a pleasure to watch your videos, Taylor! Rock and Stone, Brother!

[@bast4rdlyreaper]

I assume that "Viewer" wasn't recording, but perhaps in the future if he continues having these odd outbursts, it would be enlightening to see into the first person perspective of a psychopath driller im his element.

The caretake is the rare instance where the driller's curse is useful, drop a C4 on top of the caretaker to hit all the vents at the same time. Though dropping it on top of ur team mates is useful too, a bit of friendly fire builds character

[@megawl2086]

3:48 Digging random tunnels is also a part of the Driller's Curse, Drillers just randomly dig trap tunnels as an instinct even before they get the ripper grenade, usually they blow up the target once it's deep enough or if they have rippers, they just flood the tunnel with these things which obliterates both teammates and enemies

I speak from experience when I say that the driller's curse can be contracted by just about any class with big AoE damage; this includes instances such as engie with his Fat Boy PGL, and Gunner with his leadburster and newly acquired Autocannon Mortar Rounds. Long story short, Scout is never safe
